Back from Quartzsite and back to work on the 'project'. This is the first disc mounted, right front. The clearance to wheel is really,really tight. Not much more than 1/16". Lots of fit up to get everything right.

Here's the bracket.

The second one went a lot faster.

Drivers side mounted.

Here's a comarrison of the studs. The top one is the one that came out of the front. The next one is the new longer stud and the bottom one is modified with more threads cut. The upper is a BWP M187( actually this one is a left hand thread that was removed and appears to have had threads cut in it also), the longer one is M-186. The M-187 fit the front without modification. The M-186 I'm using on the rear.

You can see the additional threads I cut to be sure the rear inner nut doesn't bottom out.

Here is the right rear bracket.

This is the right rear again.


Drivers side rear caliper bracket

Still need to find some brake hose that will work.

The later control arms are relieved for disc brake callipers. Makes things abit easier.

Front bracket welded up and ready to squirt and mount. The round flange is 3/4", the two hole bracket is 1". Plenty stout
